Slating and tiling installation
Concrete roof tiles are the most popular choice for most UK homes and properties. Durable, effective, and aesthetically pleasing, these roofs can last for decades. However, if you’ve noticed any leaks or broken tiles, or it’s time for a replacement. You need a dependable team of roofers specialising in concrete, natural slate, synthetic slate and clay tiles. The Fascia Company has over 25 years of experience in replacing and installing slate and tile roofs. No one does it better.
What are slate and tiles?
Slate is a type of stone that easily breaks into tile-like slabs. It’s been a popular roofing choice in the UK for hundreds of years due to its strength and longevity. Tiles, usually made from concrete, are a newer option. They’re popular, around 80% of the roofs we work on use concrete tiles. Slating and tiling often cost more than other roofing options; however, with a lifespan measured in decades or centuries, there’s no denying its effectiveness.
There’s a reason why most property owners opt for a slate or tiled roof – it looks fantastic. The problem? Well, finding an experienced team of slate and tile roofers is essential, whether it’s a simple repair or complete re-roofing. Please note every new re-roof requires a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate (BRCC) signed off by the local council.

Slating and tiling repair
Hailstorms, animals, and other hazards can lead to broken, slipped and corroded tiles and slates. There’s also common issues like nail fatigue, hip, ridge and verge deterioration to content with. Generally, this doesn’t require a complete removal of the existing roof and replacement – removing the broken tiles and replacing them is usually enough to repair the roof.
Don’t ignore any damage. Even if you’ve got a watertight roof, the absence of a single tile or slate can create an opening for water or pests. That’s why we always perform a comprehensive inspection before starting any project. It ensures we don’t miss any problems that could cause you a headache further down the line.

What Our Clients Say
Your Questions Answered
What is slating and tiling?
Slating and tiling are the technical terms for installing, repairing, or replacing a roof using slates (typically natural stone) or tiles (usually clay, concrete, or synthetic materials). In characteristic fashion, these materials are laid in overlapping rows on a pitched roof to form a durable, weatherproof barrier that protects your property from rain, wind, and other elements.
How much does a slating and tiling replacement cost?
Slate and tile roof installation are more expensive than other roofing options. However, considering that a slate roof can last over 100 years, it’s arguably the most cost-effective option long-term.
